Pound for pound, I'd say it's one of the world's ten most controversial subjects. A sage of my acquaintance once remarked that the most difficult age for children is firmly hold on the matter is that the first two or three years of a child's life are the crucial ones. It was the view, you may remember, of the good Dr. Benjamin Spock whose famous book on child care added up to simply this: give 'em plenty lovin' in those tender years and everything will turn out right. (Dr. Spook, by the way, has a new book on the market giving his advice on adults, instead of children, and it is equally sane.) If I were asked to select the most interesting age of children - and I'm so glad you asked - I'd say it was between six and eight years. This is a time of great. change physically when visiting Uncles always exclaim, "My! How you've grown!" and really mean it. It is a time, too, of profound mental change when the parent must be prepared to be asked, "Daddy, what is there behind the sky?" In this span from . six-to-eight they can be more aggravating and more precious than at any other time in their development. It is a time, for example, when the imitation of adult life 75 YEARS AGO March 27, 1895 Mr. W. D.

I speak only as an authority On girls, having three of them and, anyway, they are the most absorbing kind. Boys of this age go around in a kind of daze, cutting themselves with Scout knives and falling out of trees and often don't become interesting until they are 40 years of age. The girlish mimicry of maturity, yoti see, isn't all play-acting. There's a strong desire on the part of the six-to-eight-year-old female to be considered out of infancy. Just as the caterpillar in the cocoon struggles for release into the butterfly's bright world of flight and beauty, little girls ache to be on their way to freedom, Fathers, particularly, are reluctant to face this fact. It is always a grim day when you are addressed for the first time as "Dad" rather than "Daddy." There will come the inevitable moment when you'll say something like, "Flow's my baby tonight?" only to be rewarded by the sharp reminder that your baby ain't your baby any more.

A woman's intuition, you find, begins to develop at a remarkably early age, A little girl will be learning, on the one hand, to write a sentence like "I see a brown cat" and, on the other hand, will negotiate with you on a matter concerning her civil rights with all the virtuosity of a Missouri mule-trader. It is a time, too, of sudden enthusiasms. The positive opinion, birthright of the female, begins to take shape. Things are either "Awful!" or "Neat!", Other little girls are hated or loved extravagantly. The mysteries of school have been solved after a year or two. There is an awareness of society generally and a deterinination to figure everything out in as short a time as possible.

It has pink-listed all the school boards in the province. The result should be a' barrack-room lawyer's de- light, and an educational schmozzle. At least (though I doubt it) this might put an end to the annual cattle sale, a demeaning aspect of a fairly fine profes- sion where teachers are lured with booze, bigger salaries and other benefits, into teaching at Great Slave Lake secondary school. And at which school boards become panders. Along this line, don't get too excited by the government's expressed determination to "hold the line" and "take a firm stand" against inflation. The government is merely trying to trim a little fat off the cat, trying to conceal the fact that she is pregnant and nobody wants the kittens. The rich will continue to be , rich, and the poor will contin- ue to be poor. And the middle- class will howl bloody murder, as they always have, I couldn't tare less. I'll pay my income tax, and support an entire tangly on welfare. Maybe they need it, I've lived on bread and water for three weeks, anti I know what it's like. But there are two things I object to in the White Paper en' 'tax reform: don't like to be taxed on taxes. That is, if I'm paying $500 in real estate tax, and I have to pay income tax on that $500, I object. Strenuously. And I object just as violently to the fantastic capital gains of land specula. tors. This field is full of down , right crooks working with oth- er people's money' and produc- ing nothing except fat profits for themselves. Sock it to them, Mr. Benson. This has nothing to do with tax reform, but Kim Smiley is alive and well and living in Limbo. That's the favorite resi- dence of a lot of young people these days. It's a sort of cross- roads between Utopia and the salt mines. Limbo is not a bad place to live, actually. No taxes, no de- manding job. I wouldn't mind the odd holiday there. 'But I wouldn't like it as a permanent residence. I'd miss the old tail and struggle and sweat of real life. It's cool in Limbo, bet Who wants to be cool all the time? , I'll take the arena of life, where you have to face the bull (and you can take that any way you wish) and either not flinch from the horns, or run like hell for the bard.- cadoes, At least there's a choice.

Canada had Their idea was not just to see people celebrating the .hundredth anniversary of the confederation of their country, but to instill a sense of naanal pride that would. help Canadians build a new identity. outside the British influence of their past and the American domination of the present. The final proof of the "miracle of '67" can be seen today in the very definite new nationalist movement gathering 'strength in Canada, For a time, after all, the hoopla of the centennial subsided, it appeared as if the attempt to nationalize Canadians had failed. The old apathy and self-depreciation set in again, Then the exciting rise to power of Pierre Trudeau started things back on the track. Now, from several sources, the success of those who pointed Canada towards Nationalism, is evident. The rising alarm over the possible loss of sovereignty in the Arctic, our last frontier, has forced the government into strong pronouncements on the extent of our control over the Arctic islands and the waters between them. There has been a gathering protest against the amount of foreign control over March is a capricious month. It plays tricks on everyone. The countryman who goes out one day to tap the maples may be faced ,next day by a blizzard. The weatherman finds his cloud interpretations have a habit of getting mixed up. Skiers discover that a snowfall in the valley is not a guarantee of snowy slopes. They may have been swept bare. A daytime of mud and slush may mean a frozen mass by night. Pussywillows appear in snowstorms. A There are some big, brave hunters around these days. Recently there have been some stories in-the " iti'aVeTrabOut 'an inlets being ru n death by drivers of snowmobiles. The most publicized episode was the case of a wolf on Lake Simcoe which was chased by some snowmobilers until it dropped from fatigue. It was then run over by the snowmobiles and killed, A less publicized case was the discovery in Vaughan Township near Toronto where more than 20 rabbits were found dead Haven't tried a hit of dogger- el for quite a while, so I hope you'll forgive me if I succumb to that rare and insane urge to write non-poetry. -Ode to Spring Spring!

There have been new regulations governing Canadian content in broadcasting. There are othdr subtle, but perhaps more accurate indicatOrs. Speaking to members of the Canadian Press recently, Jack McClelland of the publishing firm of McClelland and Stewart, said that the nationalist trend was evidenced in his industry by the demand for Canadian books, He warned the government, that if they didn't heed the trend and continue to let the Canadian economy slip into foreign hands, they would not remain in power long. . Canada needs nationalism as perhaps no country in recent history has needed it. We need it for our existence. But let's make sure that our nationalism is of L constructive type which will allow us to improve our country and help the world. Let's not fall prey to the evils of nationalism that have led great powers such as Britain, Germany, Russia and the United States into war and internal strife, Instead, let's make Canada the best country in the world and try to help others in the world reach the same level. street game of hop-scotch on bare pavement can be hailed out. But March is filled with promising signs. A person doesn't have to be an ornithologist to recognize the increasing bird population. Green grass fringes are appearing. High knolls are baring. No matter what March does in the way of weather, there's no denying the feel of spring. Above all even March cannot resist the clock and the equinox. These factors are even now hastening new life in the earth for the new season. - Montreal Star. With the marks of snowmobile tracks on their bodies.
